"The resort was fantasic for families and beginners as the school was very good. The pistes were wide and quiet which was lovely. Some of the lifts were a little slow and you did need to use a few lifts to get to the top. If there had been some snow fall the resort would have been amazing as the off piste looked great, but it was still good without the off piste."

"February 2010, Just got back from Panorama resort and had a fabulous time with my two teenagers! Having been quite concerned about this resort based on some of the reviews i'd seen on other sites I questioned Ski Safari and was justifiably reassured. Yes, this is a long way to travel, especially for one week as we did. There is around a three and a half hour transfer from Calgary but if you are mentally prepared and it's daylight, the views during the journey are spectacular!. Once at the resort, we found the staff to be friendly, helpful and efficient. Our accommodation (a one bed gold condo in the 1000 peaks Summit) was excellent and well equipped with TV, DVD, Hifi, Cooker, microwave, fridge freezer and even a dishwasher. The Skiing is fabulous! 120 different runs of varying standards to suit all abilities. The grading system was quite different to those I've experienced in Europe and a few of the easier slopes were still pretty steep in places. The snow was'nt at its best while we were there (during the olympics) and despite the resorts best efforts some of the prettiest runs to be found in the Sun Bowl were quite thin and patchy which was a shame for us but would be stunning with better snow conditions. However, the resort staff did a great job bashing and grooming some of the best (and longest) runs Ive experienced. Apres ski here is limited so don't go expecting wild nights out in bustling bars and restaurants. Under 19's are not allowed in the bars after 8pm and the choices of restaurants and their menus were more than a little limited. Consequently it seemed that most people dissapear to their Condo's shortly after the last runs of the day. The organisation by Ski Safari was absolutely flawless with arangements for transfers, accommodation, lift passes, ski hire etc all going without a hitch. I would definately book with them again and may well return to Panorama for the Skiing but hopefully when I do, there will be more to do in the evening!"

"Generally a well run resort. The piste grading is a little suspect with little noticeable difference between some blues and blacks - beginners may be taken by surprise at the gradient of some blues. Experts will enjoy the Taynton Bowl. Little in way of restaurants at the base - choice of 3 only. On mountain dining is helped by the Summit Hut (hot snack type food) and Elkhorn Cabin (homestyle food with limited menu) - both have a licence! Locals said the drier months are Jan & Feb, so go in Dec or March for best chance of snow? Even with no snow in 2 weeks, Taynton Bowl was still fresh (if tracked out) and the piste bashers kept the groomers in great shape."

"March 2009. Did not enjoy the 4Hr trip from the airport in a "Transit" but The Panorama village complex made up for our initial disapointment. Our 2 bed 2 bath flat at 1000 Peaks Lodge was excellent having everything needed for self catering including a coin op Laundry. The village shop was poorly stocked but a half our ride on the free shuttle bus takes you to a supermarket at Invermere.(check times of bus with reception they don't always run to the times published) Wherever you are in the village you are only a short walk (for us 200yds)to the lift or by using the free Village Gondola which connects the lower part of the village to the area near the lift.The snow was good with all but the very top runs being fully covered.The locals said it was their worst snow for 20 years.A free guide to the different runs is organised by a group of retired men and women who have volunteered to take holiday makers to the runs suitable for their ability.No queues for the lift but got a little busy at weekend.Overall 9 out of 10"

"The accomodation was superb, the views amazing and the skiing fabulous. The small nature of the resort means you get to know other people while there, and they put on a huge range of activites to make your stay enjoyable. A tour with the ski hosts is a must, as is a visit to the Summit Hut. The hot springs are excellent at the end of the day. I would visit here again!"

"We had an amazing time in Panorama. My kids loved skiing and it was a wonderful place to learn. The only slight downside of the resort was a lack ofrestaurants but apart from that it was perfect. The ski in/out facility was excellent and very important with young children."

"Excellent accomodation at the Panorama Springs, the pool and jacuzzis are fantastic at the end of the day. Very friendly staff and no "rip off" prices in the bars and restaurants. "General Store" has limited stock and there is only 1 bus per day to/from Invermere for the bigger stores. Booking now to go back next year "

"Amazing snow with the whole mountain to your self...no queues and super friendly staff. panorama has it all!!! "
